    Low frequency loss.

    There are a few variables that come into play. Is the hearing aid powerful enough to give you the lows you need? Is your low hearing bad enough that even a hearing aid won't or no longer can do the job? Does the hearing aid need new filters or be refurbished? Typically after you get your...

    My journey to hearing with a Cochlear Implant

    Thanks! Getting CI took a long time to decide because I do very well with HA's, but I'm at a point where hearing even better will benefit me not only in my career, but also in life. Plan is only one CI because that should give me the clarity I need and if it's just that much better, maybe I'll...

    My journey to hearing with a Cochlear Implant

    Thank you! As HOH-ME mentions below, part of the requirement is sleeping upright. I already had one of those backrest pillows for the bed, so I use that with some pillows and my memory foam topper and then one pillow for each arm to create an armrest. More likely to reduce swelling and keep...

    Job Offers

    I think you should do it and not hold back! I used to work construction for the longest time because that meant not having to talk with people all day and then decided I wanted to do better for myself. Got into the IT world 3 years ago (Software QA Engineer) and it was the best decision I ever...

    Naidas and the dust cover over the microphones

    I think it will come down to have active you are. I have had my hooks replaced 5 times or so in the last 2 years because they have become blocked. They have also given me hooks without the filter since I have a moisture problem, but I'd rather have the hooks to prevent any issues. The mic...

    widex super 440 HA's- anyone use them?

    I will get that info when I go to the Audiologist on Thursday. I am going to try out the Widex 220's since I am not completely happy with S III SP's. Hopefully I can provide some feedback for the OP since they are similar to the 440's, minus a few features.

    Two Phonak Cassia microM BTE

    I'm new to the site, but I'm not new to hearing aids...:lol: I just listed a set of Phonak Cassia microM hearing aids on Craigslist for $1500. They were my grandfathers who recently passed and my grandmother gave them to me because I need new hearing aids. These are not powerful enough for...
